Everything runs locally in your browser; your files never leave your browser.

Drag & drop a PDF here or click to browse — single PDF · up to 20 pages

    Fewer columns = bigger thumbnails; more columns = the whole document on one glance.
    Thumbnails don't need print resolution — 100 DPI keeps the sheet fast and light.
    Pick any background color for the sheet.
    PNG is perfect for sharing; PDF keeps it as a proper document.
    Prints "Page 1", "Page 2"… under each thumbnail.

    🎉 Free forever. No sign-up. No credit card. No limits.

    Build as many contact sheets as you like — everything runs in your browser, and your files never leave your browser.

    How it works

    • Step 1 — Drop in a PDF (one file; the first 20 pages are used). It’s read straight into your browser — nothing is uploaded anywhere.
    • Step 2 — Set the grid columns (2–8), thumbnail resolution, sheet background color, whether page numbers print under each thumbnail, and your download format: PNG single image or a one-page PDF.
    • Step 3 — Hit Build Contact Sheet. Every page renders to a thumbnail and is laid out in a tidy grid on a 1600 px-wide sheet — preview it, then download it in your chosen format.

    Everyday uses

    • Reviewing documents — scan a whole contract, report, or ebook at a glance before reading in detail.
    • Teachers — make a one-page visual index of a worksheet pack or slide deck.
    • Designers — archive layout iterations of a PDF as a single overview image.
    • Students — build a visual study map of a chapter PDF for quick revision.
    • Offices — attach a contact sheet to emails as a document preview instead of sending the whole file.
